wayniac Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi guys, I'm pretty new to poker... One thing I have noticed is a fair amount of trash talking on pokerstars where I play. It seems that there are more negative comments than postive ones. The occasional gh or gg ... but usually negative ****ers! I'm wondering, is this the norm or is it just something that I've happened to experience? Is this a part of their tactics to psyche you out? I thought this may be the case since it occurred more later in tourneys. I'm also starting to think that most people who play poker haven't seen the light of day for a long time, and they forget that there are real people behind these computers. Anyway, I'm a jolly chap, so I'll continue to just be myself damnit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Etiquette at Poker Online Sites You do get people who play online poker who try and wind you up by typing shit. You find a lot of people on here turn the chat option off so you cant see what is being said so they dont get affected by it all. I tend to leave it on but let it go over my head doesn't really bother me what people are typing to be honest. It's always nice to see people getting wound up and they are sometimes the best people to target as they might go on tilt. People will try anything to get the upper hand that's why they type shite i guess. Good luck with your poker in the future and hopefully make some nice money from it.

Jaded Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Etiquette at Poker Online Sites I'd agree with Staffy here - generally people who get aggressive in chat are likely to be on tilt/very prone to going on tilt. (Of course, they could be clever players who WANT you to think that.) I'm unfailingly polite, partly because it normally winds up the a***holes more than shouting at them would anyway ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run Dmc Vs Pat Nevin Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Etiquette at Poker Online Sites I've witnesed our very own Jezza employ the trash-talking tactic. He usually types stuff like "DON'T YOU DARE CALL MY RAISES YOU MOFOS" in capitals like that. Seems to work for him by getting people to go on tilt.

Ell Ess Dee Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Re: Etiquette at Poker Online Sites Should of seen the Betfred $50k final.. Racist comments to the max, even though it was final table and there was the 1st prize of $10k, if that ain't enough to put you off i don't know what is.. Although i hate to admit i was laughing at some of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
